It looks like they blew up a dish-shaped balloon, covered it in string, sprayed hairspray all over it, let it dry, then popped the balloon.

What, like you fargers never had art class in high school. Except MDS, who should have it next year.

The DVR is buggy as hell, and the wife hates the dish. Can football season please get here?

Listened to the end of O&A today... now catching some Ron & Fez.

Pics of the install:

From the backyard looking up the side of the house-

Lots of wires-

Stop it, nerds.

Did you finally win that pesky poker tournament last night?

rjs246 · February 17, 2006, 11:23:58 AM

No. I got drunk before and got rocked. But then I played in the cash game and made about $60 on top of the money I spent on the tourney so all in all it was a successful night.

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 17, 2006, 11:36:33 AM

Well done. My satellite could beat you at poker.

rjs246 · February 17, 2006, 11:42:57 AM

Your wife could probably beat me at poker. But I can almost certainly drink more than her and I can definitely drunkenly brag about myself until she's convinced I rule, so I win.

She's in sales. She'd smell what you're shoveling a mile away.

ever come home a little tipsy and accidently walk into the wrong house?

rjs246 · February 17, 2006, 12:38:00 PM

Not since college.

rjs246 · February 17, 2006, 12:43:24 PM

Actually the only time I did it in college was after a 'Caps' tournament at some chick's place. I was so blackoutdrunk that I wandered into my neighbors' apartment and took a seat on their shteinter. I then passed out with my pants around my ankles and fell off the shteinter. I was rudley awoken by the gentle slamming of the bathroom door against my head as my neighbor tried depserately to get in to figure out who the hell was in her bathroom. Good times.

FYI: The R15 DVR is a steaming pile of buggy crap.

DO NOT GET A NEW DVR FROM DIRECTV ANYTIME SOON.

Better off with a standard receiver and an old TiVo.

Forgot to tell you that FF. Every electonics board on the net trashed DTV's attempt at a homegrown tivo. Keep your eye out for and HD Tivo's. Only problem is eventually they will be outdated and DTV's signal will no longer support them.

I don't need HD with my DVR. We only have DVR upstairs on a small, non-HD TV.
